The appointment of Mr.. Charles S. Fair
child to the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury has been expected for some time. He
has made good record as Assistant Sec
rotary, and will doubtless carry out
the views which MIR. Manning en-
tertained with respect to the
tariff, silver and other matters
with which the Treasury Depart
ment has to deal. The public is familiar
with his career, it having been published
when he was appointed Assistant Secre-
tary. He is comparatively young man
and enjoys vigorous health. Mr.. Isaac
N. Maynard, the newly appointed Treas
urer, has made good officer as Second
Comptroller of the Treasury, and his pro-
motion is doubtless well deserved.

Few people have an idea of the iu-
mense amount OF duties collected on i'm
ports at the New York custom house.
The total amount of money turned into
Uncle Sans Golfers from June 80, 1856, to
June 80, 1886, for the privilege of bring
ing foreign products into the United
States is $3,00S, 521, 929 37-a sum nearly
three times as large as the present total
Federal debt. The largest single years re-
ceipts were those of 1882, under Collector
W. II. Robertson, when they amounted
20 $152, ,082 ga sum little less than
the entire annual revenues Of Belgium,
Mexico, Canada and Sweden combined.
And yet the prOtectionists would have
the amount increased so as to have a
large surplus to distribute among the
States.

Still on the Deadhead List.

The railroads are not going to get rio OF
deadheads entirely. The interstate COM
merce law prohibits the railroads from
issuing passes, but does not prevent them
from permitting the employees OF the Post
Office Department, whose duties require
them to visit different parts of the coun-
try, to ride free. The Attorney
General has given an opinion on
the point, and it is doubtless
the first point raised under the interstate
law to be settled. The post office en-
ployes, however, have the authority OF
law 10 back them up In their claim for
free transportation. There are great
many other government officials, how
ever, who doubtless view with regret the
termination OF the free pass business.
There is no law to which they
can appeal to support their request for
free passes, and they will, therefore, have
to pay their way when they travel. 1t is
stated that great many of these officials
have made 1t a practice to secure free
passes ana collect the amount Of their
railway fares from the government. In
that way $hey have been able TO mate
pense Of the railroads.
Ills a well-known fact that very large
number of Congressman have made it a
point not only to travel to and from their
homes on free passes, although they col
lected the mileage which the law allows
them, but they have been accustomed to
demand free passes for themselves, their
families and friends Whenever they
wanted to take a trip to any part of the
country either on business or pleasure.
The mileage of q member OF Congress
from the Pacific slope amounts to about
s., 800, or more than a fourth his two years
salary. The mileage of many members
from other sections of the country
amounts to quite large sum annually.
Many ofthem have been accustomed to
travel free. Now they will have to pay
just as other people do, and while their c.
tual travelling expenses will not be one
half the amount OF their mileage, and they
will still make money out OF their mileage
prerogative, it is probable they will not
travel about the country quite so extern
sively now as when they were dead
heads.
The ending Of the pass system Will
have a beneficial effect upon public men
in more ways than one. officials will
not be so DESTROYS Of travelling over the
country, and hence will give more atten-
ton to their official duties. They will
not be Dribed by passes to neglect the
peoples interest to serve the railroads.
Doubtless many attempts will be made,
however, to evade that part of the law
which relates to free passes.

0l1r Liver.

The CITIZEN editor is placed I'M
der obligations to the Bosanko
Medicine Co. for pair of elegant
liver pills on trial. The circular &C
companying said: "You have been
recommended to us as one Of the
most prominent bloated liver COM
planners in your locality" etc. This
is the third time we have been &C
cused of the liver complaint and it's
getting chronic. Now we propose
to live down the bilious SANDER in
one paragraph. We have taken
some trouble In the past to test the
strength and activity of our liver
and we found it fully sustained the
reputation of its royal ancestry.
Now TO talk about its going out of
its way to notice q pair of little
starch pellets! You'd as well shoot
green peas at gunboat. Our dis
tinguished liver traces Its lineage
back, through striking coincidental
similitudes, to primordeal proto-
plasm, coming down through Tu-
bal Cain, Samson, Goliah, Saul, DR..
Simmons and Jno. L. Sullivan, de-
veloping from o delicate tinted It's
sue, stage by stage, INTO gristle,
leather, gumbo, tinplate, galvanized
zinc, boiler plate. And now the
bare idea OF shooting soft pills at
it. We are warranted by the facts
in asserting even ct this late day
that if Goliah had come at David
liver end foremost the stripping
had never been king, and it is by nc
means established that Samson die
not use his liver to Stay the Philis
tines. We may be mistaken il
these speculations, however; seeing
that these eminent gentlemen art
both dead, but we know whereof VIZ
speak when we assert that Jno. l.
Sullivan's liver can chamber {

The L. & NJ Road on Another Gobble.


Recent development 10 railroad
construction on the east of US may
bring about a radical change in the
intentions of railroad builders. The
Cincinnati and Birmingham road
that was to be built by TuIlahoma,
Fayetteville q Huntsville is about
to fall victim to the L. d Ms vo-
racity. We clip the following from
the Huntsville Mercury:
The Birmingham correspondent OF
the Montgomery Dispatch: he Louis
vile & Nashville railroad company has
determined to extend the mineral road
to Huntsville at once. Surveys will be
completed in sixty days and they eX-
pect to finish the road in one year. In
connection with the above we may
state that Hon. Oscar r. Hundley of
this city received letter from Mr.. Mil
ton Ii. Smith, vice president of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, in
which he states that the surveyors OF
the L. & N. system will make the sur
vey OF the line from Birmingham to
| Huntsville at once. 1t looks as if the
dawn of Huntsville's day OF prosperity
was not for distant.
1t appears that DeBardeleben
who has started a road from Bir'
mingham to Bessemer, in the direc-
ton of Huntsville, has sold out &c
the L. d N. and they are now sur
veying the route to Huntsville. Ii
was evidently done to head off the
new road. The people in Middle
Tennessee who are already under
the dominion of the L. IL N. want 6
competing line and we imagint
they will be slow to build their new
line right into the jaws Of the very
monster they are seeking to circum
vent This new development draw:
attention again to the origina
scheme which The CITIZEN favored
from the beginning. The road from
Point Burnside to Tullahoma is run
ming as straight as an arrow FOL

These people will now perhaps turr

slider this the greatest route in al
this country. 1t gives Sheffield {
straight line east by the Midland
through Cumberland Gap. 1t is al
inevitable road and any novice by
glance at the map can see it. IL
the meantime, we do not expect t,
be run off from our Iurfreesbor'
road. If the other people had deci
ded to come this way month age
the MurfreesbOro route woul,

Those people may decide to as

A Scene in a Georgia Court.

While court was in session last
week it was noticed that Col. Mitch
ell would very often 60 to a small
satcheP in which he had some spe-
cially selected law books, and max e
references. Several of his visiting
attorneys noticed this, and while he
was waxing warm in presenting his
argument to the jury they filled his
satchel with four or five empty hot
ties, and when the colonel turned to
make his accustomed reference,
opening his satchel,the bottles were
exposed.
Judge Lumpkin notified the col
onel that he need not hope to con-
troll the court with such argument
as was then shiningly exposed upon
the table fronting the court.

In spite of its more or less complicated
character, the Judges Grand Word Con-
test, just ended, has proven a success. By
it Judge has enlisted over 5000 energetic,
spirited and intelligent workers for the
Grant Fund, has materially swelled the to-
Monument Committee by the contribution
of good sized check, and has IN addition
divided 1900 among eight successful and
happy puzzle workers as Q reward for their
labor and ingenuity. Judge now inaugu-
rates a second contest Of an even more poou-
lar character than the frst-a contest in
which every school child can engage and
stand an equal chance with older COMPETE
tors.
Every person who, in coIformance with
governing rules, sends 10 the Judge Grant
Fund, on or before June 18th, 1887 (12
O'Clock noon }, 80 cents and the names Of the
eleven most popular living men in America
will be entitled to participate in the contest.
The money thus received will be appro pria--
ted MS follows:
Twenty five cents will be ct .once credited
to the Grant Fund.
The remaining twenty five cents, alter
deducting the legitimate expenses of adver-
tbs ing, will be placed in q common fund to
be divided equally among the Six competi-
tors having the fullest list of the most pop
lar people as indicated by majority Of gil

fact, based upon the principles of an cleo
ton, each competitive paper virtually act
ing in the nature of ballot, and the six
lists containing the greater number of the
eleven names shown to be the most popular
by Q majority of all the lisss will be- the sue
cessfpl prize papers.
The magnitude of the prizes will depend
on the amount of money received, or in other
words, on the number of competitors. The
